Meath. Our set dancing team, consisting of Michelle Campbell, Shannon Clarke, Geraldine Reilly, Amanda McKeon, Eileen Doyle, Karen Donnelly, Grace McGauran, Patricia Reilly, and Breda Kennedy, delivered an outstanding display, while Rebekah Brady captivated with her solo singing performance. This is a remarkable accomplishment, and we are incredibly proud of their success. Best of luck to all as they prepare for the Leinster Final.
Hard luck to our U-16 team, who battled hard but fell short in their recent matches.

In their second outing, they faced a tough Killoe Óg side, with the final score ending 5-9 to 3-9 at Emmet Park. Well done to all the players for their efforts—keep working hard, and the results will come.
